If you are one of the superheroes on the front line right now, a health care worker, medical professional,

a food provider, a scientist or a government worker, God bless you. And I know you will be

stressed to your limits psychologically and physically. Even 30 seconds of deep breathing and

grounding can help you stay centered and focused. We need you and we support you.

So if you are someone on the front lines and could benefit from a meditation course on your

phone in your pocket, just email me at jeffkat one commune.com and I'll make sure that you're set up.
